On behalf of one of our returning family clients - REALLY lovely employers:
We are looking for a warm, caring and experienced nanny to join a loving family based in Central London Covent Garden ASAP. The family has two young children a little boy aged three and a half and a baby girl who is 1 year old. They are seeking someone who is patient, kind, energetic and has a calm presence, yet can maintain firm and consistent boundaries. They would love a nanny who sees difficult moments as opportunities for teaching and growth, and who can bring fun, creativity, and warmth into the children’s daily lives.
The role will be a mix of shared care and sole charge, approximately fifty-fifty, so the nanny must be comfortable working alongside hands-on parents while also being confident in taking full responsibility when required. The positions working hours from Monday to Friday, 9 am to 7 pm, totalling fifty hours per week. The family are initially looking for a temp nanny 6 weeks however if everything goes well they would be looking to extend this to becoming their nanny in where they are moving to in Ascot for 4 months which will be live in own bathroom.
Mum is at home with the children, dad often has to work overseas and that is when they particularly need additional support.
The ideal candidate will have extensive experience working with young children, with a strong understanding of child development and age-appropriate activities. Must have experience with active little boys!
The family has a particular preference for a Norland Nanny or someone with equivalent training and experience. They are looking for someone who is genuinely passionate about childcare, who can nurture and support the children’s emotional and social development, and who will encourage good manners and positive behaviour.
Responsibilities will include planning and engaging the children in stimulating activities, supporting meal and nap routines, assisting with feeding, and helping with light nursery duties such as tidying toys and children’s laundry.
This is a wonderful opportunity for an experienced nanny looking for a long-term role with a welcoming family. If you believe you would be the perfect fit, please send us your CV.
The family looks forward to finding someone who will become an important and valued part of their lives and help them out when they need.
